The Aurora 810 has a 12.8T Intel Tofino 2 Intelligent Fabric Processor at its heart. It’s a programmable switch with 32 x 400GbE QSFP-DD interfaces, each supporting breaking out to four subinterfaces for high-density leaf deployment.
With quad programmable packet processing pipelines and 20 Match Action Unit stages per pipe, Aurora 810 delivers unmatched flexibility to the network. Besides high-performance switching, its Protocol-independent switch architecture (PISA) enables adjusting protocols in software, precise control over packets, deep packet inspection, unorthodox traffic management techniques, load balancing, and much more.
The Aurora 810 supports IEEE 1588-2008 PTPv2 to achieve clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range. All of its ports are PTP-enabled for critical 5G carrier routing, media/broadcast, and BNG applications.
The Intel® Tofino™ 2 Intelligent Fabric Processor doubles its switching capacity over the first generation and provides far more packet processing resources to handle the most demanding workloads in distributed applications, virtual machine scaling, artificial intelligence, and serverless deployments.
P4 – Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processors – www.p4.org exists now as an independent entity to develop a rich open-source ecosystem. Unlike human languages, a programming language such as P4 can unambiguously specify the behavior of network forwarding behavior. A programmer can describe the behavior once, then compile the program to run on various platforms.
InfiniCORE’s Visibility Studio transforms the Aurora 810 into a visibility powerhouse, leveraging the power in the Tofino 2 chipset.
P4 Studio – the compilers and development tools needed to compile and debug programs to run on Tofino 2.
A ready-to-use NOS, SONiC – a collection of networking software components required to have a fully functional L3 device, is available for data center applications.
